Samuel Nordheimer (February 6, 1824 – June 29, 1912) was a businessman and music promoter in 19th century Toronto.[1]
In part to build this business, Nordheimer became one of the most active promoters of music in Canada. He brought prominent foreign stars to the city, such as Jenny Lind; opened a concert hall in Montreal, founded the Chamber Music Association, and for many years directed the Toronto Philharmonic Society.
